Kinerja Spectrum Sensing dengan Metode Matched Filter Detector pada Radio Kognitif

The evolution of wireless systems and current technology has made a huge impact on society. However, at the same time the management and utilization of spectrum scarcity is not efficient. Cognitive Radio is a new paradigm in designing wireless communication system that aims to improve the utilization of the radio frequency spectrum (RF) and reduce to a minimum the scarcity of spectrum. Spectrum sensing is a major step that will allow the cognitive radio networks, namely to determine the status of the spectrum and activity of the primary user at regular intervals, using the method of matched filter detector and energy detector as a comparison. The results of the performance spectrum sensing based on simulations, indicates the performance matched filter detector requires SNR = 15 dB to achieve detection probability (Pd) of 100%, with a probability of false alarm of 0.01, whereas energy detector only requires SNR = 14.2 dB. As a whole for optimum signal detection performance of matched filter detector is not better than the performance of energy detector.
